What is going on in Catalonia - Guest post: The axe and the bonsai by Krystyna Schreiber #Catalonia #right2decide

For 300 years we have been wary of the Catalans, fearing that they would
become powerful enough to leave us. That has made us treat them like a bonsai
(a miniature Japanese tree) smothering them with wires (without being noticed)
to grow little and under control, in a small pot with drip water. We grant them
powers, but only the most necessary ones and in any case, we keep control of
all the functions (e.g. education in Germany is run by the "Länder",
not by the central Ministry as happens here). We give them money, but just
enough to make sure they are always in debt and dependent. We give them
infrastructures, but late and always somewhat less than agreed. We give, yes.
But little, because we are suspicious that the bonsai might slip through our
hands. The truth is, we do not really understand why the ungrateful oak wants
to stop being a bonsai, when it fits so well on our shelf. But stubbornly, they
dream of becoming a tree. And as we can now see that the wires are not enough, now
we show them our axe, made of our sharpened Laws.
